DOHA: The Youth Company, Qatar — a nonprofit social enterprise for youth development and empowerment — will begin the first of three instalments of this year’s Run The World Festival with “RTW Talks” comprising five mini-conferences.
To take place between November 2 and 30, the talks will feature a range of topics on how youth can lead healthier and happier lifestyles. The delegates will be given the chance to touch base with some of the world’s champions in health, wellbeing, sports, and innovation. The first RTW Talk will be held at Youth Hub, Qatar on Saturday and will explore the topics of mental health and sports.
As TYC’s largest youth event of the year, Run The World presents an opportunity for youth between the ages of 14 to 29 years to participate in a range of sports and fun activities, showcase outstanding talents, explore worldwide cultures and get involved in community projects and conferences such as RTW Talk and RTW Legacy.
“This time, RTWF 2013 is not just about encouraging youth to lead healthy and active lifestyles. It is about gaining new experiences, awareness and learning new things not only about ourselves, but also about other individuals and the community around us. In RTW Talk, the first part of this exciting edition, we want young people to listen to what experts have to say about their own life-changing experiences, and the advice they share for becoming healthier, happier, and more engaged citizens of the world,” says Abdulrahman Sajid, Director of Youth Hub and YESS.
The first RTW Talks in November will feature topics such as depression; how it is defined and whether it is an illusion or reality, as well as sports, diet and other sessions on lifestyle and wellbeing. Speakers and delegates will be invited to take part in the forum and engage in speeches, panel discussions, debates, and interactive activities that inform, motivate and connect the participants.
